A: Instance is an example of something that happens generally and example is a way of helping someone understand something

A:
has to do with the meaning of "instance"
an instance = an occurrence, a single point in time/process, a moment

"I know lots of fruits. For instance, apples, oranges...," sounds off because
apples, oranges, and mangoes are not "instances"


You might hear people use "for instance" and "for example" interchangeably in colloquial speech. Just like people say both "regardless" and "irregardless" to the point that "irregardless" is now officially a word.

In most cases, both of these phrases work, so it's alright.

A lot of bad shit have been happening. For example/instance, this morning the computer won't work.
Both are ok because here "for instance" is correct and you can replace it with "for example".

To put another way:
You can replace "for instance" with "for example".
But you can't always replace "for example" with "for instance".

I recommend checking out if there's a similar concept in Japanese for the word "instance" coz once the idea behind "instance"is clear then it's easier to understand when it's better to not use "for instance"

A: A sample is a smaller part of something bigger, while example is an entire thing that is indicative of a group of things.
